The programme forms part of the Company’s broader commitment to responsible energy development and environmental stewardship, demonstrating that energy production and environmental sustainability can progress hand in hand.
Speaking at the event, Bola Bode, Senior Vice President , Production, who represented the Chief Executive Officer of Heirs Energies, Osa Igiehon, noted that the initiative reflects the Company’s commitment to creating lasting value for both its host communities and the environment.
“As we continue to grow production and expand our oil and gas business, we recognise that our success is closely linked to the wellbeing of our host communities and the health of the environment in which we operate. The Agbada Green Corridor Initiative is one expression of our commitment to responsible operations and sustainable development,” he said.
The tree-planting exercise was conducted in partnership with the Rivers State Ministry of Environment and the Self Help and Rural Development Association (SHERDA), with support from the OML 17 HCDT and community stakeholders.
